Starting in the unlimited class will be Bill Glendinning, who has been undefeated in dual competition since he has been in college. Biggest feat so far for this crack wrestler occured curlier in the season when he came up against Charlie Tell, Princeton's massive all-American football player. Though he had a weight advantage of some 45 pounds, a height advantage of five inches, the huge Tiger is more brute strength than skill and agility, and the 1000 people who came to see the meet watched the Crimson lad win an exciting match in overtime, a match in which...
Hugh S. Johnson wrote last week: "In logic and law there is no answer [to the President's proposal].

Cornell's Johnny Meaden looks like the mile winner with Alex Northrop having an outside chance to topple him. Meaden won a comparatively slow...
